IT is predicted that the "Star of
Bethlehem" will appear this year for
the sixth time since the birth of Christ.
This star is said to appear directly
north of the North star, and to be visi-
BILE, in its dazzling light, at MONDAY.
It is a solar orb, many times the magni-
tude Of our sun, whose orbit is yet UNI
calculated by any astronomer.

GEORGE ALFRED TOWNSEND says that
Gen. Grant could stand very little
liquor. If he took a single glass of
wine it became a cloud upon his other
wise clear and devoted faculties. "Grant
was one of the few men in whom nature
had worked so BEAUTIFULLY that his
system could never contain liquor with
out mutiny."

WHEN the King of Servia was on his
recent railroad journey from Nisch to
Belgrade, at one of the stoppages the
engine driver, Enrich Mishkolzi, was
overcome by the fumes Of gas escaping
from the engine furnace, and would
probably have succumbed had not the
King noticed his condition andpromptly
carried him with the help of one of his
%chasseurs, into his private saloon car
riage, where restoratives could be APP
piled. The King himself administered
cognac to the man, and also rubbed his
forehead and temples with vinegar, with
the result of restoring animation. At
the next station the King called for a
doctor, who stated hat the danger was
over. On the arrival of the train at
Belgrade the man was found to be still
too weak to resume work. King Milan
accordingly requested leave of absence
for him until his health should be re-
stored, and made him a present of 10
ducats to help him to tide wei his ILL
ness.

ROBERT REAM, brother to Winnie
Ream Hoxie, the sculptures, recently
died at Fort Worth, Tex. He was a
noted character in the Indian Territory
for more than twenty years, being
an adopted citizen of the Choctaw
tribe. He was q nan of nerve and was
particularly noted for killing Ben
Jones, the worst desperate the Indian
Territory ever produced, at McAllistew.
He was never punished for it. the gen
eral verdict being that he had per-
formed a righteous act.

The Sugar Trust.

A report was circulated on the street YES
terday that both the Forest City and Eagle
sugar rehneries had closed and that no more
work would be done in them. The report
was to the effect that the owners of these re-
hneries had Joined the Sugar Trust; that all
the refneries in the Trust had pooled their
properties. and that only such refneries
would be run as were necessary to supply
the market at profit to the stockholders in
the pool.
Mr.. George S. Hunt said that the affairs f
the Sugar Trust are still in process of organ
ization. There is nothing compile ted. The
Eagle is not refinery, as generally under
stood. 1t is a boiling house, which fur
nishes sugar to the refners. The Forest CITY
is a refinery. Each one of the REIN
cries in the Trust has to shut down
at certain time to take this account of
stock. Three Boston refneries have been
closed for this purpose, and, during Novem
Der. it will be the turn of the Forest City
Refinery. By means of the Trust, if it is
successful. the danger of over-production
will be avoided, and each refinery would
continue to have on hand sufficient skilled
workmen, so that if the services of a refin-
cry that had closed for time were needed
there would be no delay in getting to work.

noticeable, and made most attractive dis

of it. One young lady presented typical
forms of leaves. The members whose work
calls for notice are Misses Adams, Bryant,
Charlton, Jones, LeGrow, McKenney, San

A Canadian Clair,

1t is reported that Canadian exporters of
hay intend to set up claim that during the
last decade or so 100000 was wrongfully ex-
torted from them in customs dues on baled
hay exported to the United States, and they
will demand through their commissioners
that the money be returned with accrued in
terest, this 100000 being in excess of what
should have been exacted under proper
construction of the tariff then in vogue. I'm
der the old tariff it was customary to assess
duties on hay, which was not a commodity
enumerated in the document, as an article
manufactured in part. 1t thus paid 20 per
cent duty instead of the 10 per cent levied ON
raw materials unenumerated.
In 1880 Mr.. Fipen of st. Johns protested
against this construction, and carried the
question before the Supreme Court He got
a decision in his favor, and recovered the
sum of $4,000, that being the amount and
interest he paid in excess of the 10 per cent
which the court decided was the rightful
rate of duty.
The opinion is now entertained by custo ms
officials, however, that inasmuch as the deal
ers who are reported about to enter claims,
did not protest under the operation of the
old treaty when they paid the duties in
question. their claims would now be inval-

The Gale off the Cape.

1t blew great guns yesterday morning
from the northeast, and off Bowery Beach
large feet of fishing vessels, caught far to
leeward, had a dead beat to windward to
make harbor. At about o'clock one of
them was seen to carry away her mainsail
and then run to leeward of Richmond Island
to make repairs. One hour later a loaded
coaster, with large white house, carried
away her foremost and maintopmast, leaving
her helpless wreck. Another vessel,
abled one, got line to her, and towed her
into Richmond Island breakwater.
After noon the wind moderated somewhat
the fishermen shook out their reefed sails,
and made better and safer progress toward
port. The dismasted schooner is now lying
at anchor, about mile southwest from the
breakwater. M.

What Am 1 to Do7

The symptoms of Bilicusness are unhappily but
too well known. They differ in different indiyid-
uals to some extent. ABilious man is seldom a
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas, he has an
excellent appetite for liquids but for solids of
morning. His tongue will hardly bear inspection
at any time; If 1t is not white and furred, it is
rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of order and
Diarrhea or Constipation may be a symptom or
the two may alternate. There are often Hemor
rhoids or even loss of blood. There may be giddi-
ness and often headache and acidity or fatulence
and tenderness in the pit of the stomach. To cor
rect all this if not effect cure try GREEN'S august
Fioacer, it costs but trine and thousands attest
its efficacy. noyId1ycT
